I honestly can't remember the last time I bought an album but I typically go to on average 3 or 4 shows a month so I feel that I'm supporting the artists I like.
I love listening to new music and checking out artists I've never heard before so I think my downloading their albums before I buy a ticket is a fair trade.
I also was one of those people that hated my cd collection when I had it because of the amount of space the cases take up, and before that I was one of those people that hated my cassette collection because of the amount of space it took up. I love the fact that everything I want to listen to can fit on my external hard drive and my ipod which take up a combined space of less than one square ft.
